If you are a retiree, or if you know one, you know that the golden years can be a time of fun excursions and activity. With your working days behind you, you may find you have time for bus or boat sightseeing trips, visits to your family, or trips out with your church group. With all that travelling, why not find ways to sweeten the journey? We can help you add some bulk candy to the travel pack of your loved one, or perhaps for yourself!
While you want to feed your sweet tooth, you also want healthy options. But healthier doesn’t have to mean less enjoyable! We have put together a list of healthier bulk candy choices that are sure to be the highlight of any excursion.
Sugar-Free Options
Sugar-free candies can be a wonderful alternative to real sugar varieties, and they still make our mouths water. We would be hard pressed to notice any difference with their sugar-filled counterparts.
A few of our favorites are Eda’s Sugar-Free Mixed Fruit, Brach’s Sugar-Free Lemon Drops, or Sugar-Free Werther’s Assortment. We like these options for bus rides because they are individually packaged and easy to take along. Another easily transportable option is lollipops. You may want to try Dr. John’s Sugar Free Classic Fruit Lollipops or Primrose Sugar Free Jolly Pops to satisfy that sweet tooth.
If you’d like a more chewy candy, we recommend Brach’s Sugar-Free Fruit Slices or Dr. John’s Sugar Free Assorted Taffy. These are sure to make any trip a little bit sweeter.
Peppermint
Peppermint can be wonderful to soothe the stomach. There is a sugar-free variety by Brach’s, or try these LifeSavers Peppermint Rolls. A softer mint, Bob’s Sweet Stripes Soft Peppermint, will melt in your mouth and leave you satisfied. These are especially nice for sharing.
Ginger
Another great stomach soother is ginger. Did you also know that ginger contains potassium, magnesium, Vitamin D, and antioxidants, and also has anti-inflammatory properties? A of couple options that we always like to carry along are Ginger Cuts and Atkinson’s Gingerbread Caramels.
Dark Chocolate
A wonderful alternative to sweet milk chocolate is dark chocolate. In addition to being delicious, it has antioxidants and can be extremely satisfying for any chocolate lover. You can’t go wrong with the Dove 3 Flavor Assortment, which has dark chocolate, dark chocolate swirl, and sea salt caramel and dark chocolate varieties. These are shareable, but you may want to keep them all for yourself!
Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Assortment is another delicious variety pack of dark chocolate. We don’t like to pick favorites, and choosing a selection like this means we don’t have to. This assortment has dark chocolate sea salt caramel, 72% cacao, 60% cacao, and a sea salt and almonds variety.
You can also keep your dark chocolate choices simple with Hershey Dark Chocolate Kisses, or Hershey Dark Chocolate Candy Bars.
